You were in the bathroom, humming along to whatever music was blasting through your speakers, making sure the water was warm, you added a few drops of lavender and eucalyptus oils into the water and sighed contentedly at the pleasant aroma that drafted through the bathroom. Grabbing the bouquet of roses that your loving boyfriend had given you a few weeks ago, you took one flower out and let the petals fall into the water.

You beamed, feeling thrilled at the thought of being able to soak in a bathtub for a few good hours before bed. You worked over at Uravity's Hero Agency, head of Public Relations, and quite honestly it was a very simple and straightforward job. Uraraka just was such a charming woman that her having an immeasurable face in the limelight was never impossible, but it was still a demanding job that required you to be on your feet all day.

With the water-filled to the max amount, you sighed stripping off your robe and slipping one foot in. You just about moaned when the warm water seeped in your skin and you slowly got in, picking up your hair so it wouldn't get wet.

You tilted your head back as you soaked in the warm water, feeling blissful.

The front door opened, and you cracked a closed eye open as you heard it shut.

"I'm home." A voice called out sounding drained.

You trained your eyes on the closed bathroom doors until Shouto opened it, and stepped into the bathroom. "Welcome home, love!" You greeted him as he walked to your resting form and pressed a kiss on your lips delicately. "Wanna join me?" You ask, motioning down to the tub you were in.

"I need to talk to you," Shouto says, ignoring your offer, as he puts the toilet seat cover down and sat down next to you, his head drooping instead of looking at you. "About Endeavor–my father."

Your eyes widen slowly at this revelation, you had been dating a little more than a year, but in terms of familial relationships, you had only met and heard stories about his older sister, brother, and his mom. You knew that Endeavor was a sensitive spot in his life but you didn't grasp as to why.

You nod your head, sitting up from your relaxed position to one of attentiveness and care, your hands folded over your knees, "Okay, Shouto, whenever you're ready."

You two sat there in silence, the only sound being the acoustic songs still playing calmingly through the speaker, and at this point, you were too afraid to turn it off. Shouto while no longer the reserved teenager his fellow Pro-Heroes claimed he was, his ability to open up and let people in, was still an issue he had, even with you.

"Endeavor was someone I despised, so much." Shouto began, his eyes locking on yours and it almost took your breath away with how much sorrow and anger were swirling in his tremors. "As a kid, he wanted me to be number one, and he trained me diligently to be number one. It didn't matter that I was only four years old, I was drilled to the bone to be a warrior."

You nod, listening quietly as he continues talking. Shouto continues to open up about how Endeavor abused him as a child, physically, mentally, and emotionally. He quietly continued on how Endeavor even made Rei breakdown one day, hence the permanent reminder of that fatal night scarred on his face. At some point, you grab his hand and hold on reassuringly as he continues talking about some of his lowest memories that all seemed to involve Endeavor.

"He has been trying; however, for the past several years to make things better with me, and the rest of my family, but I can't excuse him," Shouto whispers as you press a delicate kiss on his fingers to remind you that you're here for him. "He made me the worst version of myself, and suddenly switches to forgiveness, and everyone in my family has finally accepted his apologies. B-But I just can't forgive him, and I won't forgive him."

You don't blame him in the slightest for that opinion.

"At the same time, what if something bad happens and I can't ever forgive him?"

You're silent, you haven't spoken the entire time he was letting you in on his worst memories, so instead, you help him to his feet while you stand as well.

Disregarding your slight embarrassment of being naked and dripping wet from the now cold bathtub water, you undo his costume, stripping him completely and letting him in the water with you. He stands in front of you, just gazing as you hug him close and returns the action. "Sit down, Shoucchan." You murmur in his ear, sitting down on the tub again, and let him relax between your legs.

You smile affectionately as you feel the water heating up, along with the left side of his body. You brush Shouto's hair with your fingers, gently massaging his scalp as you go. Slowly, Shouto molds to your will and is now putting his weight on you as you sit in silence, the aroma of the oils once again picking up.

"You don't have to forgive him, you have never been obligated to forgive him." You start after a bit, finally gathering the words to say. "Endeavor was your childhood oppressor, and not until you're completely unhesitant should he ever deserve forgiveness. It's difficult, I know because he is still your father despite his horrible decisions, but this is about you not him."

"I feel like I should have an answer by now, y/n," Shouto sighs as you press a kiss underneath his ear.

"Nah, you don't." You disagree wrapping your arms around him loosely, "If it takes you until your deathbed to decide, it's perfectly okay, love. It's about your forgiveness, feelings, and willingness, not Endeavors feelings."

You watch him weakly nod, his head now resting on your collarbone.

"I'm not ready to forgive him..."

"Then I'll support you, whatever you're feeling at any moment, I will support how you feel."

Shouto chuckles, pressing a kiss on your neck.

"Thank you, beautiful, I'm grateful that I have you."

"I am, too."

There we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all I could think of, and I skipped over the majority of shouto letting you in on the deepness of his terrors because that would make me cry, so instead of pain take the comforting part of a relationship! plus by now I feel like everyone knows the entire story by heart.

bonus!

"What oils did you use, y/n, they smell really good?" Shouto asks as you both were now resting in the bath, eyes closed, humming along to the acoustic music.

"Lavender and eucalyptus, I'm glad I used them too, they're apparently super helpful when you're stressed, anxious, and need to vent." You giggled, cracking open an eye to see Shouto smiling over at you.

"You really are the best," Shouto states before sealing a kiss over your lips as his hand slips to the back of your neck. Safe to say you two found another way to vent out some pent up emotions: cuddling.
